O’Sensei
Carlos Diaz has been
involved with the Martial Arts for over 35 years. He is the Founder and
Chief Instructor of Sei Ryoku Zen Yo Karate, Inc. He is also President
and Founder International Association of Karate-Kobudo of Puerto Rico.
He first came in contact with the Martial Arts when he joined the
police force 1960. Judo was taught as part of their training as police
officers. Carlos continued t until 1966 when he became fascinated with
karate and joined a local Shotokan Dojo, plus taking Kobudo classes on
his spare time. Besides practicing Garyu Rico-Do Karate with Sensei
Rodriguez he later joined Yoshukai Karate-Do where he remained until
the summer of 1981, which time he decided to move on and form his own
organization. He was a 3rd Degree Black Belt of Yoshukal Karate-Do when
he founded Sei Ryoku Zen Yo Karate in January 1982.
Returning to his roots he incorporated much of the Shotokan basic and
advanced Katas, but composed all of the intermediate and kobudo forms,
which are unique.
Not long after forming Sei Ryoku Zen Yo, Carlos contacts Grand
Patriarch Peter Urban Father of U.S.A. Goju to ask him for his support
in the quest he has taken on. Peter Urban having approved his petition
promoted Carlos Diaz to 5th Degree Black Belt.
In 1986 Peter Urban decided to take residence in Puerto Rico, this
offered him the opportunity to have a closer relationship with Sei
Ryoku Zen Yo Karate and based on the accomplishment of Carlos Diaz in
the Martial Arts, Urban awarded him the rank of 10th degree Black Belt
and Founder of his own System.
Since then Sei Ryoku Zen Yo Karate has received many awards and
recognitions, Grandmaster Carlos Diaz has continued to be active in
many associations and organizations working to better the Martial Arts
locally and internationally. In 1998 Grand Master Diaz was voted as the
“World Karate & Kobudo Legend of the Year" by the, World Martial
Arts League’s Hall of Fame.
